Since the automated update manager in my joomla 1.7.3 website suggests updating to the newest 2.5 and I thought that was a big leap since it was only released yesterday, I wanted to update to 1.7.4. So I did, the old-fashioned way, by downloading the patch, unzipping it on my local machine and update it through ftp. Worked like a charm.

Joomla 2.5 has been released on January 24th, 2012.

On the same date, Joomla 1.7.4 was released as a security update. The funny thing is, one of my live sites with Joomla 1.7.3 gave me version 2.5 through the automated update process (didn't go for that just yet) but my test environment with Joomla 2.5.0 RC1 reported no updates.

I was kinda hoping that one would have an automated update to the stable version. No such luck :-(

I started another new site, and for this one, I am using Joomla 1.7.3, along with a Rockettheme template and the gantry template framework.

It is a site for my mother's company

Today, I've updated my Easyblog to the newest 3.0.7073. First thing to notice is that I cannot add a tag to this post. D'uh...

But otherwise, everything looks okay.

 

Well, working with Joomla 1.7 is most certainly fun. I like it, and here's a couple of things I figured are worth mentioning.
